Resting With the Birds

Spiritual concepts, quantum physics Intellectual topics or gymnastics Abstract thoughts, passion for words Finding his center staring at birds While meditating or daydreaming All that was heard were kids screaming I believe this, Larry would tolerate Because on some level he could relate In himself a young man he saw Why he despised the term Grandpa Flirting at every opportunity Fueled his soul with energy In his own mind he would get lost The price of inner peace was the cost His focus, enlightenment and joy Connecting with his small inner boy His deep spirit was so strong it lives on He’s still here, though physically gone He’ll show up during the holiday Sneaking into your heart some way At Stony Gorge you’ll sense he’s free His smoke encircling nearby a tree While taking a walk or on the phone His spirit will hug you, so you’re not alone He is blessed with a family that’s intense The love surrounding him is immense Though God took him too soon to comprehend It’s only the beginning for him, not the end
